Re: Designer babies Lords give thumbs up

I just want there to be more discussion about this before such issues become the accepted thing.Once we push open certain doors it is difficult to close and bolt them again.

I'm not concerned about playing God I'm concerned about not thinking every part of the issue ALL the way through..I also would want to approach it in a more pragmatic manner and to try and keep the emotive angle to a minimum although I understand that genetic disease in young children IS an emotive issue.However I feel that the discussion should be along the lines of what is best for the proposed resultant children who are people too eventually.

What will it be like if we go further along this road to cloned individuals?What sort of society will we be forming?What certain legalities will there be for cloned people?This is what needs discussing.Of course we could do the usual and just accept it a bit at a time but then the laws will never really catch up.

Let's just think the consequences through a little more thoroughly than we are at the moment..please.
